Very good! Like other reviews use a candy thermometer to make sure the butter, milk and marshmallows are at 225 degrees. This helps the fudge set up at room temperature . ( no need for the fridge) I doubled the recipe and didn't have large marshmallows, so I used 3 cups mini marshmallows (packed) and it came out beautiful ! Silky, creamy fudge, thanks for sharing!

This recipe has a great texture. I boiled it till soft-ball stage - 234 degrees, and it firmed perfectly. I chose this recipe because I could easily change it to meet my daughter's food intolerance. I used 2 tablespooons ghee, a pinch of salt, and 6 tablespoons palm shortening in place of the butter, and heavy whipping cream in place of the evaporated milk.
That said, the flavor was lacking a bit - next time I will add more chocolate somehow - either with cocoa powder at some point, or more chocolate chips.
It would be an understatement to say my daughter was thrilled with the fudge. I think she would give it 5 stars, but she's been fudge-deprived for 3 years now, so I think ANY fudge would get 5 stars from her.

THIS IS THE BEST FUDGE IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!! For my younger sisters bday, she wanted me to make my "famous fudge." Truth be told, i had NO idea what she was talking about!! It had been years sense i made fudge, and i had kept changing recipes. I quickly jumped on AllRecipes, like i always do, and found this fudge recipe. This is now my "famous fudge recipe." It is so good and easy. I didn't have large marshmallows, so used 2 cups of mini's. I actually only used about 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups sugar (mostly because i ran out), and it turned out WONDERFULL!!!! Make sure to only use a 5 ounce can of milk otherwise it WILL NOT work (obviously.) I beat it for, um, maybe 4-5 minutes and it was beautiful. I lined a pan with foil, to make it easier, and only refrigerated it for about 1-1/2 hours and then am having it just sit on the counter, because we like soft fudge. I have a dairy allergy, so didn't try any (ok, ok, maybe i tried just a teeny-weeny bit), but everyone else says its good, and it turly is. Seriously, make this fudge recipe and you won't try another!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, easy and delicious. I'm no expert but I got a great texture. Didn't trust the 6 minutes cook time. I used a candy thermometer like my mom taught me but it actually turned out to be about 6 minutes anyways. Thanks for a great treat.

This is my go to - never fail recipe for fudge. I always use 2/3 cup of evaporated milk and 12 large marshmallows. Over low heat I bring the butter, sugar, and milk to a boil - stirring constantly - when the bubbles cannot be stirred away I start timing for 5 minutes - again stirring constantly. After five minutes, I remove from the heat, add chocolate chips and vanilla, I blend with my portable handheld mixer. Then add nuts and pour into a foil lined and greased 8 x 8 inch dish. Allow to cool, lift foil out and cut into squares. I make a lot of this and give as gifts. Been making for years!

This is "Old Fashioned Fudge" so having said that it is not Fool Proof! The directions say 5-oz can evap. milk so don't mistake that for a regular size can which is what I did... I had to triple my ingredients to make it work! BTW if your making lots changes to this recipe how do you know it really works! Rating 5 stars should be if you followed directions 100% and it worked! As for me, I'll stick with the "Fool Proof" fudge next time. Here's a link on "how to fix your fudge" just in-case you need it! http://candy.about.com/od/fudgecandyrecipes/f/fix_fudge.htm

I just finished making this wonderful fudge! I doubled the recipe, using 1 whole can of evaporated milk (12 oz can) 2 cups ghiardelli bittersweet chips, 2 sticks butter, 2 tsp vanilla, 4 cups mini marshmallows, 4 cups evaporated cain sugar (organic). I used a candy thermometer and cooked the milk marshmallows and sugar on 4.5 heat (setting on electric stovetop) till soft ball stage, I didn't time it, but I know it took quite a bit of time. I stirred with a heat proof rubber spatula slowly the whole time. I then dumped this onto the butter, vanilla and chocolate chips in my kitchen aid mixer. I mixed for atleast 5 min on medium speed. I then dumped into a pan with buttered foil in it. I would say a 10x10 or so would do the trick. It has the best texture of any fudge I have tried. I put walnuts on top of half of the fudge. It looks amazing, Thanks for the recipe. This is the second time I have made fudge and I am sure this will be the main recipe for me! The first fudge I made was a disaster.
